In 1867, a great inventor and entrepreneur was born in the native Louisiana. Going by the name of Madam C.J. Walker this inventor was born Sarah Breedlove; to former slaves, Owen and Minerva Breedlove on a plantation with four brothers and one older sister joining her as well. She was orphaned by the age eleven because yellow fever had decimated half of the population; Walker was left surviving with her sister while working on the cotton fields of Delta and Vicksburg, Mississippi. By age 14 she was married to Moses McWilliams, she only married to escape the physical abuse of her brother Jesse Powell. Her only daughter was born in 1885 and her husband died two years later she traveled to St. Louis to accompany her brothers and worked as a laundrywoman and saved enough money to educate her daughter and became involved with the National Association of Colored Women.
